Bottom-placed duo Eibar (LLWWD) and Leganes (WLLDD) will square off in another La Liga league action at the Estadio Municipal de Ipurua in Eibar.

In their last time out, Leganes ended their 6-game winless spell after securing a lone goal win against Espanyol.

In total, Leganes has recorded 25 goals, 49 conceded goals, 6 clean sheets, 381 shots, and 136 shots on-target, 114 yellow cards and 3 red card bookings.

Outside of Leganes' top-scoring forward, Oscar, who has 9 goals, no current Leganés player has more than a single league goal. Javier Avilés recently scored his first league goal in Oscar's absence.

Eibar occupies the final safe zone with 35 points, 6 points away from the relegation zone. Eibar is coming into the game with 9 wins, 8 draws with 16 losses. In their last time out, Eibar's 4-game unbeaten run was snapped after suffering a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Osasuna, their 2nd defeat since league restart. In the game, Eibar conceded two goals from Osasuna forward Ruben Garcia in the 6th and 74th minute of the game. Despite recording 11 goals attempts and 55% ball possession, Eibar's attempts to secure any goals were in futility. So far this season, Eibar has recorded 34 goals, 51 conceded goals, 385 shots, 128 shots on-target, 9 clean sheets, 83 yellow cards, and 3 red card bookings.

On offense, Kike Garcia is one of Eibar's key forwards to watch out for. Kike García has scored the opening goal in two of the last three home games, recording a total of 5 goals and one assist. In front of the net for Eibar is Marco Dmitrovic. The 28-year-old Serbian goalie has allowed 50 goals in 32 appearances, an average of 1.56 goals conceded per 90 minutes. He has also recorded 67 saves, 20% penalty saves, and 8 clean sheets.

Both teams have recorded 5 draws in 8 previous meetings, three of which were goalless. Although Osasuna won two out of 8 previous meetings, Eibar has not been able to defeat Osasuna since 2017.
